This 15 year old Miltonduff Glenlivet from Cadenhead’s Chairman’s Stock series was matured in a refill red wine cask and bottled at 54.4% ABV, capturing a complex and balanced expression. Cadenhead’s is Scotland’s oldest independent bottler, established in 1842 and still bottling whisky in Campbeltown with a commitment to natural presentation, no chill filtration and no added colour. Each Chairman’s Stock release is selected from the late Chairman’s private collection and presented at cask strength in limited quantities, celebrating exceptional individual casks. Aromas of white grapefruit and dried cranberry are joined by light tobacco leaf and herbal soot on the nose, while the palate delivers a compelling interplay between bright citrus and rich dark fruit with a savory thread of root spice and subtle saline butteriness. The finish extends with orris root, peppermint and gentle dried root notes, offering texture and nuance that reward careful sipping. This Miltonduff clearly demonstrates Cadenhead’s skill in revealing the individuality of its casks, with depth, clarity and enduring character.
